If you are about to leave on a trip, part of your planning should include buying travel insurance. It will not only give you peace of mind that your belongings are insured but also that your health needs will be taken care of in case you fall ill far from home.

Exactly which adventures they will and won't cover varies, depending on your country of permanent residence. Check their A to Z guide to adventure, to make sure all of activities you're planning to do on your trip are covered.

Be aware, participation in any professional sports or any activity where you purposefully put your life at risk are generally excluded and, depending on your country of permanent residence, there may be restrictions or upgrades on coverage for certain activities.

Do read the fine print in the policy description of cover carefully, to make sure the travel insurance is right for you and you understand what you're covered for (and not). Contact WorldNomads.com if you have specific questions about their adventure sport coverage.
